The Assassin's Assassin

Jack Ruby shoots Lee Harvey Oswald (11.24.63).

Tonight C-SPAN will be airing the full program, The Jack Ruby Trial, a recording of a presentation given at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The presentation features J. Waymon Rose, one of the jurors during the 1964 trial of the assassin of Lee Harvey Oswald.

I highly recommend you all take the opportunity to watch the program. The trial of Ruby as well as his long incarceration prior to dying of cancer while in jail is something I have always found fascinating. Hearing from one of the jurors from that trial is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The program airs tonight at 7:15 p.m. and tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. (both EST).
